Way to go S2. Not a slouch in the lineup!!

I just got my wife a new SA helmet so her head won't catch fire from the evil stares when she rides with me Sunday.

If you can beat me in 3 by at least .4 second (even tho' my wife will be on tire warmer runs) you have beaten Patsy Z a National trophy Driver and can let her co-drive your car in the same heat and not be humiliated. That would make you a woman beater.

If you can beat me in 5 you will have beaten me personally with oldtimer's learning curve :oops:
That would make you an over 65 beating felon.

Do what you can. I take no prisoners.

The Mayor.

My wife has never figured out why pansies will not survive in her garden. They cannot take reality either. :rolling:

Question...

In my quest to catch that damn Camero, I installed a boss differential cover. Does this bump me into one of the modified classes???

Yes I know, two 'A's, no 'e'.

You can read our one page of stock category rules and check me on this... but, I believe you could change your diff cover, your diff, your driveshaft, your transmission, your clutch, and your flywheel and still be okay for FAST Stock. (as well as wheels, tires, shocks, brakes, exhaust and a bunch of other little things) We have our stock class limits. They include none of those things.

Alex and I sit back here with our 20+ year old Foxbodies and 200HPish w/torque and laugh at the "trick" newer Shelby Stang vs 1LE Cam Arrow with 300+ and 400+ HP pissing on each other's feet.

Even the 1LE will fall. Trust me. Right track. Wide enough wheels. Right Driver. FAST stock always sorts things out eventually. :thumbwink: No one wins class two years in a row it seems. :dunno:

It's boring to win the same class two years in a row.

Speaking of such, I should start shopping for a co-drive for next season.

I've read on the forums the Boss diff cover is worth at least 20hp and even more if I put a Boss sticker on the car. I figure with the Boss and Shelby stickers, the car would be like the wonder twins in one.

Personally, I know its not the car...

Looking forward to Sunday...It seems like its been forever since I raced.

I remember reading somewhere that 'Yellow is the color of speed'. Perhaps you should paint your car yellow? Or add a bunch of tasteful yellow accents?

So what you're saying is if I dress in yellow, I'll be faster? Time to go shopping!

Everyone knows that Hawaiian shirts are fast. Maybe a yellow Hawaiian shirt would be like the ultimate secret weapon?

I think I have one of those, but I prefer long sleeves when the UV will be 14. However I did put a FAST sticker on my car, that should help some. Maybe people with FAST stickers get .2 seconds off their best times. :-D

The last batch of stickers we got came with 10% more horsepower. Even the small ones.

Y'all have fun tomorrow!

The weather has been PERFECT for the past 2-3 days. I wish the whole year could be just like this!

Is there now going to be a run on big bird costumes? Glad to see you'll make this one Mike. I'm not sure if I'll be able to hold you off this time...I need tires! with 8000 hard miles I can already feel the car pushing all over the place :( should be interesting!

Amen brother! I got 3rd place wrapped up this season.
